1. Overview
Chattanooga Criminal Defense Law Firm (“Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Policy explains what information we collect through chattanoogacriminaldefenselawfirm.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. We do not sell your personal information.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide: your name, phone number, email address, and any details you submit through our contact form, live chat, text/SMS messaging, or by emailing or calling us. If you opt in to receive text messages from us, we also collect your mobile phone number and a record of your consent to be texted.
Information collected automatically: your IP address, browser and device type, and pages visited, collected through standard web analytics and cookies.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information you provide to respond to inquiries, evaluate potential cases, communicate with prospective and current clients (including by phone, email, and text message), and maintain and improve the Site.
4. We Do Not Sell Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
5. How We Share Information
We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Site and our practice, such as website hosting, email, case-management, and text-messaging providers, each of whom may use it only to provide services to us. We may also disclose information if required by law or court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm or others.
6. Text Messaging (SMS) Privacy
If you provide your mobile phone number and opt in to receive text messages from the Firm, we use that number solely to communicate with you about your legal matter or our services. We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose your mobile phone number or your SMS opt-in consent to any third party or affiliate for marketing or promotional purposes. We share this information only with the text-messaging service providers we use to deliver messages on our behalf (such as our case-management and texting platform providers), and only as necessary for them to provide that service. This information is never shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
For additional details about our text-messaging program, including how to opt out, see our SMS Terms of Use, which is incorporated into this Policy by reference.
7. Cookies and Analytics
The Site may use cookies and similar tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some Site features may not work properly as a result.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information submitted through the Site. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will provide notice consistent with Tennessee law (Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-2107), including notice without unreasonable delay and, where required, within 45 days of discovery.
9. Attorney-Client Privilege
Submitting information through the Site, including by text message, does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not protected by the attorney-client privilege unless and until we agree in writing to represent you. Please avoid sending sensitive case details until that relationship is established.
10. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Your Choices
You may contact us at any time to ask what information we have collected about you, to request that we delete it, or to opt out of future communications (including text messages, by replying STOP), subject to any records we are required to retain by law or professional obligation.
